Someone mentioned naming conventions about 1:09:00. I like naming VMs but what services they do, followed by a year and/or number. Why? It saves time. It harder to train someone on silly naming conventions. It also prevents extra discussions for support specialists or vendors to support your environment. For example: fs01 or fs01 would be better than MuscaBorealis for a file server. It's kinda fun for a few servers, but imagine having 50 servers named all weird.

I got to see the benefit of a NVME cache for read/write. I moved my cameras to their own bare drives, and Surveillance Station video seeking lagged a LOT more.

Im a fan of both XCP & Proxmox - Proxmox Backup Server supports snapshots, incremental backups and quiescing databases in any OS that supports it which is a big deal if running Windows workloads.

Some of these SBCs do have a PCIe port if you are willing to repurpose the m.2 NVMe slot to up to a 4x slot if you stuff an adapter in there. Works on most boards that have an m.2 slot that speaks NVMe. Doesn't work on SATA only m.2 ports. Also, it doesn't work on boards that don't have an m.2 slot....

Appreciate all the info from you :)

Bought Asus pn52 mini pc with Ryzen 9 5900HX 3.3 ghz 8 core 16 threads and op to 64GB memory 2x M.2 and 1x sata ssd. and 2.5Gb Nic

Thought this was perfect for the Xcp-ng backup hypervisor. but turned out to be useless as a hypervisor there is no working network driver that works for linux since it is based on the Realtek RTK 8125BG

Works halfway with 1Gb link but no net with 2:5 GB link
